@n6ng It wasn’t Windows… but it worked anyway.

@n6ng what is it? DISPLAY is an xwindows thing

[N6NG]

@sdetweil It is just a standard Raspberry Pi 3b with Debian with Buster and anASUS HDMI monitor…
But it was on for a couple of seconds and then off for 5 or 10 seconds back and forth… now it is back to normal…

@n6ng so display might be set in the environment already.

the code says set display to :0 if not set

that’s the normal default xwindows instance

[N6NG]

@sdetweil So are you saying that’s what I should set the display line to instead of what to said to set it to in this forum link?

If that’s true, I’ll try it…

@vintage89 edit the package.json file and remove the display=${display… stuff from the start clause

It should start with "node_modules, like this
“start”: “node_modules/.bin/electron js/electron.js”,

that is
won’t start on Windows, because DISPLAY=… on start function in package.json

https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/15778/fix-for-black-screen-in-2-16-and-later
that is
blank screen because of missing dependencies on some/many modules
